慧淨上人法語
淨土宗宗風俗諦

Paying great attention to benevolence and justice, keeping morality in human relationship, stressing on filial piety, and respecting etiquette are rooted in the Buddhist law of cause and effect. Buddhism is always conservative. Only by staying conservative the original visage of Buddhism can be kept.

In this turbid and unwholesome world, people live just like in darkness, and only the Buddhist teachings serve as our eyes, or as a bright light illuminating the world. In the Age of Dharma Decline, technologies for improving our desired living develop with giant strides, while the way to cultivate our moral character and to mould our temperament degenerates day by day.

講仁義、敦倫常、重孝道、尚禮節，也是佛教因果的紮根。佛門始終是保守的，唯有保守才能維持佛法的面貌。

在此濁惡之世，猶如人處暗中，佛法是唯一眼目、曜世明燈。末法之世，厚生利用之術一日千里，而修身養性之道如江河日下。
